The result of the magnitude 7.1 Christchurch earthquake at 4.35am on September 4th 2010. Taken from Dallington Terrace looking towards Avonside Drive. Notice how the riverbank has slumped - at high tide the tree is now surrounded by water.
A warning sign about contaminated water is nailed to a tree next to the Avon River on River Road.

Among the deformation features produced in Christchurch by the September 4th Darfield Earthquake were numerous and widespread “sand volcanoes”. Most of these structures occurred in urban settings and “erupted” through a hardened surface of concrete or tarseal, or soil. Sand volcanoes were also widespread in the Avon‐ Heathcote Estuary and offered an excellent opportunity to readily examine shallow subsurface profiles and as such the potential appearance of such structures in the rock record.
The result of the magnitude 7.1 Christchurch earthquake at 4.35am on September 4th 2010. Taken from Dallington Terrace looking towards Avonside Drive. This pumping station used to be level. When the tide is in that flax bush on the bend appears to be growing from the middle of the river, suggesting the land has slumped about a meter.

The Avon River loop around Porritt Park has risen with the quake. Huge cracks are all through Porritt Park (rowing, hockey and cricket venue). The main section of the river is in a man made cut behind the buildings in the background of this pic.
The bridge on River Road just before the Banks Ave turn off. Looking down at the Avon River side of the Shirley Stream bridge showing how much the ground has slumped by - notice the unpainted concrete now exposed.
